I used the insurance template from Entreprise DNA as well as bespoke reports created in the optimised October 2020 version of Power BI Desktop to test a new installation of Power BI.The report within Power BI Desktop refreshed OK. When it was uploaded to a development version of the Report Server (using the most up to date patched version of Power BI October 2020 server) I was getting errors that were not true i.e. 1056505865: COM error: Microsoft.PowerBI.ReportServer.ASEngineManageRoot, No credentials were found for the datasource or [0] 0: There is no data in the database for @CatalogItemId=9b71fbda-26c9-4032-b172-703057e33943;@ContentType=DataModel. I am wondering whether anyone else is getting the same error and whether anything can be done about it?
Hi @ClaireBBa, a similar topic was covered in this forum thread link. Check this one out and see if it answers any of your question Power BI Report Server - October 2020 version with bugs
I am using version 1.9.7627.11028 (which has already had two patches) which was released on the 18th November 2020. Unfortunately, I have developed one report as an evaluation and someone has said they like it. I can keep refreshing the report manually or give then a copy of Power BI Desktop, but it would be nice to know how to get this fixed (if possible).
May I ask you the reason why you use Power BI report server?
I have been using a combination of Power BI Desktop and Power BI server(app.powerbi.com) and this works like a charm.
My advice would be to only use Power BI report server if the company you work for wants to have his data on premises, no matter what.

The company I work for wants to use the on-premise version.
I need to know how to get this situation fixed as do not want to manually refresh each report.
Unfortunately, I cannot help you with the Power BI Report Server. I can only encourage to use the Power BI app, instead of Report server.
Hi @ClaireBBa. It’s as little unclear to me (perhaps I read too fast), but was your report working on a previous version of Power BI Report Server? If so, then as the report hasn’t changed and the datasource hasn’t changed, then my guess from your error description is that the credentials of the account (or impersonation account) that are being supplied by the Report Server to the datasource aren’t valid. I have many clients who are using Power BI Report Server without issue.
